Appearance:Kal is a human of average height, standing 155 centimeters tall. His frame is lean and athletic. His brown hair is buzzed short and he is clean shaven. His skin is fair in color and his eyes are brown. A distinguishing feature that he possesses is the scar on his lower left cheek, the reminder of a childhood accident.
Skills/Abilities:- Long Range Specialist - With his sniper rifle in hands, Kal is deadly from a distance. He's able to pick off targets with pure precision. His training has made him able to adapt to different distances and other variables.
- Stealth Training - Kal is also a danger at closer ranges, when stealthier tactics are needed. He has training with his stealth field generator, which bends light around him to create near invisibility. A favored tactic of his is to use the generator, plant a grenade, retreat, then activate the explosive.
- Agility - Kal's variant of armor is lighter, which allows for greater movement. Already not the largest of people, he uses his size and speed to get around the battlefield quickly, often climbing obstacles with his grappling hook to create places to snipe from.
- Scouting - Kal has received training for reconnaissance, he can identify enemies from a distance and is capable of scouting ahead of the rest of the team.
- Hand to Hand Combat - Kal was given the same martial arts training that other Troopers in the Republic Army received. While close range combat is not his specialty, he knows how to fight when its too close to use his rifle.
Equipment:- Sniper blaster rifle - A variant of the standard Trooper's blaster rifle, its rate of fire is slower, but the individual shots are more powerful. A single headshot is enough to put down a target. The rifle itself is longer and harder to wield on the move. The sniper rifle has a capacity of 10 shots, it comes equipped with a bipod and a targeting scope.
- Standard blaster pistol
- Republic Trooper armor - A more lightweight varient of the standard Trooper's armor. Less protection for more movement.

Personality:Kal is a sarcastic, positive man that like to look on the bright side of life. He's a friendly person that cares about his fellow soldiers and men. In bleak situations he likes to crack jokes to try to kill the tension. On the battlefield he's cautious and careful, his role as a long range marksman means he often only has one opportunity to succeed, he tries to never waste it. He doesn't have the greatest opinion of the Jedi, their insistence to fight over internal politics while the Mandalorians rampaged through the galaxy was not something he liked. But he knows they can be useful in combat and will try to his best to work with them.
He has an anger inside of him over the death of his parents, both were killed by Mandalorians in a raid of Corsin. That was the reason he joined up so willingly, he wanted to make sure no more families were torn apart by their savagery and a part of him wants revenge, though he's not that open about this opinion.
History:Kal Vonden was born on the beautiful world of Corsin which is located in the Greater Plooriod sector in the Expansion Region of the galaxy. Kal was born a few days after the Plooriod 940, a major swoop race on Corsin. His father Gil Vonden was a famous swoop racer who won the latest edition of the race. He was an only child, who lived in the tropical islands of the gorgeous world. His family was well off and he lived in relative luxury for much of his childhood.
Kal's mother made sure that he focused on school, she did not want him following in his father's footsteps as a swoop racer, a thrilling but dangerous sport. She made sure Kal kept his grades up and he did, he was a good student. After finishing schooling on Corsin, Kal decided to move offworld to attend the University of Coruscant. While he was hesitant to leave his homeworld and travel such a distance, both his parents encouraged it.
The move to the jewel of the Republic was a strange one to the young Kal, the hustle and bustle of Coruscant was a far different from the peacefulness of Corsin. He enjoyed his life there, he had to admit there was much more to do on the world than on Corsin. He had been studying when first word of the Mandalorians spread, after hearing of Corsin's raid he was striken by emotion. Both of his parents were killed, grief striken and wanting revenge, Kal enlisted in the Republic Army shortly after they began engaging the Mandalorians.
Training was difficult, unlike anything he'd ever done before. But he was driven to succeed. He'd already dropped out of school and made the decision to enlist. His parents would have supported his enlistment, they would have scolded him deeply if he quit. Kal fought through training, impressing his superiors particularly in firearms training. Shortly after completing his training, Kal was sent into battle. The Mandalorians were unlike any other force he'd seen. Avoiding death and taking out some enemies, Kal survived first combat.
He's impressed in the combat missions he's taken a part of, and has since joined IRSOG. Kal keeps telling himself he's prepared and it will go swimmingly, but he's nervous, though he'll never let that show.
Relationships and Acquaintances:W.I.P., will be arranged following acceptance.
